Henrietta Bearcats! It has been another great week in HISD, and I want to share a few updates with you as we head into the weekend. Progress continues on our bond projects, some that are visible, and some that may have caught you off guard if you were at the football game last week! The new stadium lights we were able to install because of bond funds can be turned on and off very quickly, unlike the old stadium lights that would take a long time to come back on. So when we score a touchdown, the lights flash on and off, which made some people think we were having a lighting malfunction! Keep an eye out for that at the next home game on Sept 20 vs. Seymour! That is Pioneer Reunion Night, and we hope to see you there! You will also notice the track surface has been torn up in preparation for new asphalt, which we expect to be installed next week. This is going to be a great surface for our track athletes, and of course for our cheerleaders at football games. I am sure you will see me out there walking to get a few steps in, and I invite you to take advantage of the track as well once the surface is completed! We are grateful for the support of our community as these bond projects come to life. It is a great time to be a Bearcat! Jaime Clark
September is #SuicidePreventionMonth and 9/10 is Suicide Awareness Day. #BeThe1To show you care through asking and listening judgement free. Start the conversation. If you are not sure where to start, just ask and lead with empathy. For help with those conversations, you can also text/call 988 and they will guide you through the process. Reach out to your campus counselor for resources and guidance. We are here to help!
Come out and support your Ladycats at home tonight starting at 5pm!
HJH and HHS (9th-11th only) will have fall portraits on Wednesday, Sept. 11. Your student should have received an order form in English class several days ago. All students will have their picture taken for the yearbook.
Parents - Please send water bottles with your child to school tomorrow since the City of Henrietta is in a boil notice.
Thank you!
